Allergy Treatment
Allergy Treatment in Hawaiian Gardens
Pet allergies happen when a pet's immune system reacts to allergens like pollen, mold, dust mites, fleas, certain foods, and chemicals. Symptoms can include skin irritation, respiratory issues, gastrointestinal problems, ear infections, and eye issues. Diagnosis involves physical exams, allergy testing, and elimination diets. Management includes avoidance of allergens, medications, topical treatments, and dietary changes. Regular cleaning and flea control can help prevent allergies.
Q & A
Symptoms can include skin irritation, itching, rashes, ear infections, respiratory issues, gastrointestinal problems, and watery or red eyes.
Secondary ear infection, bacterial and yeast skin infections are quite common in pets with allergy dermatitis. When pets scratch and chew at their irritated skin due to allergies, they can create open sores and wounds. These areas become vulnerable to infections by bacteria and yeast, which thrive in the warm, moist environment of damaged skin.
Treatments may include medications for the bacterial and yeast infections, Lokivetmab (Cytopoint), Oclacitinib (Apoquel ), antihistamines, corticosteroids and topical treatments like medicated shampoos and sprays.
Unfortunately, allergies cannot be cured, but they can be managed effectively with proper treatment and care to reduce symptoms and improve the pet's quality of life.
